The son of two former Marines, barber John Francis Bongiovi Sr. and playboy Bunny turned florist Carol, John Francis Bongiovi Jr. was born in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. (Sharkey).

Anthony and Matthew are his two brothers. His mother is of German and Russian lineage, and his father is of Italian (the name Bongiovi originates from Sciacca, Sicily) and Slovak background. While he has previously claimed that he is blood-related to singer Frank Sinatra, he demonstrated this was wrong in an interview from 2016.

Bon Jovi was brought up as a Catholic. He worked selling newspapers while spending the summers with his grandparents in Erie, Pennsylvania. John spent his freshman and sophomore years of high school in Metuchen, New Jersey, at St. Joseph High School. Later, he changed schools and enrolled at Parlin, New Jersey’s Sayreville War Memorial High School.

When Jon Bon Jovi was 13 years old, his first band, Raze, started playing guitar and piano. When he was 16 years old, he met David Bryan and started the band Atlantic City Expressway.

In his early 20s, Bon Jovi was a member of the band John Bongiovi and the Wild Ones, which played at nightclubs like the Fast Lane and opened for regional performers.

He had created the Rest by the year 1980, and they served as the opening act for New Jersey bands like Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.

Jon Bon Jovi postponed his show in Florida after testing positive for COVID-19 in October 2021. He was said to be fully immunized and to be feeling “great.”

By November 12, 2021, the sickness has left him. In April 2022, Bon Jovi discussed the profound effects COVID-19 had on him, especially on the way he wrote songs.

He said COVID-19 made him realize “how volatile we are and how fragile life is.” No matter your age, nationality, or place of origin, the COVID-19 epidemic afflicted everyone, young or elderly, American or Egyptian. When I was recording the record, I was aware of that.
